Proud to be working with Careers Wales / Syniadau Mawr Cymru / Big Ideas Wales in their quests to develop next generation talent from our schools / colleges.

Encouraging career aspirations, and giving all a fair chance in life at an early stage is key to addressing the adverse numbers of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training.

Great initiatives and looking forward to hosting some positive sessions over the coming months.

🚀Helping Small Businesses Grow🚀

What better way to start a day of meetings, calls and even a 30 second slot on 106.3 Bridge FM Radio to promote the upcoming Choir's annual concert! 😁

Today represents exactly what OFST Business Consultancy Services does best - and the rising☀️encapsulates just what we aim for when setting goals and driving local business development.

First another session with a start-up venture, who started just 8 weeks ago with an idea and is about to launch with a structured business plan, and hopefully a successful grant award when announced.

Then, meeting an established business and leadership team as part of commercial director arrangement, adding some development strategy experience to boost revenue growth and enhance the 'quote to win' ratio.

If your business 'could do better' or you simply want more from all your hard work, please get in touch. Initial consultations are free, just drop us a mail at [email protected] or DM on here to book your slot in - nothing to lose, plenty to gain.

💻🎶BUSINESS IN THE COMMUNITY🎶💻

Demands of business and entrepreneurs never stand still. Ever since setting up OFST Business Consultancy Services, it has always been inspiring to see ambition in the SME economy against the backdrop of a continued volatile trading environment.

Towards the end of last month, I received a referral from a fellow business owner It'seeze Web Design South Wales Valleys, to provide guidance and support for a start-up venture he was talking to at a networking event. We juggled priorities, and after many hours work, 12 meetings, business plan development and guidance and grant application advice, we are now finalising the launch plan.

Being adaptable, shifting priorities and simply delivering is what small businesses expect, and what we deliver every time.

It is also important for me to make time for community engagement, and it has been a pleasure to squeeze in some voluntary work this week. What an honour to be part of the Brynteg School team today handing out GCSE results to hundreds of very nervous year 10 & 11 students. More tears of happiness than anything else!! Not forgetting our monthly Committee meeting with Bridgend Male Choir, as we head towards our Annual Concert.

Meeting new peers at a Syniadau Mawr Cymru / Big Ideas Wales discussion this week and carrying out some business mentoring work for Business Wales / BusnesCymru has been enlightening. It's great that Welsh Gov offers support to business using experience in the local community.

Thanks to all the businesses we have supported this week for entrusting in us. Yes, there will be challenges and hurdles ahead, but those businesses are in better shape today, clearer and more confident, than they were when the week began!! Ready to take on the competition and drive profitable growth. 🚀

Initial consultations are free, no commitment, no sales pitch, just honest conversations

Have a good end to the week all.

🤔Business reset? 🤔

For some, July and August are quieter months, while we all enjoy a well earned holiday, or even a staycation in this extended summer heatwave.

Small businesses often find it difficult to make time to see beyond the here and now, and daily operations and customer demands rightly take priority.

Though as we approach the autumn months, we are well into Quarter 3, and now is a great time to take that pause, and think about the remainder of the year, and the years ahead.

Effective business planning, and frequent resets, underpin a lot of successful businesses that go further than dealing with the day-to-day.

Business planning support, and strategic advice around profitable and sustainable growth is at the heart of what we do. We have only a few free initial consultations left in August, and are offering discounts on bookings made before month-end as out contribution to giving something back to businesses through the long summer months. Book your free, no obligation consultation now, and don't wonder 'what could have been?'. DM on here or e-mail [email protected].

🪭 Business plan consultancy. Garden or home office job? 🪭

What would we do without our fans? Supporting two new clients in their business planning process involves quite some time on the lap-top, so was it the garden or inside today?

Well, 10 mins in a South West facing garden was enough! 🥵

When developing a business, it’s important to be adaptable. To move when the signals are there or ideally when they are first anticipated. To stay ahead of the competition when buying behaviour changes.

To take carefully calculated risks, and ensure the business critical ones are properly risk managed / insured.

To be ambitious, though keeping it real.

All the subject of great discussions this week - and for the next couple of days, it’s getting out and about for face to face meetings (and not battling with a lack of AC and noisy fans)!!

Business plan support is only a part of what we offer - we are in business to support your business ambitions. First consultations are free, no obligation, just honest discussions. DM us on here or e mail [email protected] to book yours.

😊THE POWER OF CUSTOMER REVIEWS 😊

🖌For any business, the power of a truthful and positive review is more than just a few words - it publicises trust and recommendations that can help someone else take that all important next step. Below may be a busy poster, but so are businesses which play an integral part in our economy.

After founding OFST Business Consultancy Services some 17 months ago, I said at the start that the main aim for our existence is to give something back to businesses and the community, after some 35 years in the commercial world. Working with inspirational businesses seeking continuous improvement and individuals looking to personally develop is what drives us - and receiving frequent and positive reviews just makes all the hard work worth it.

Thanks to all our customers for entrusting us to help you. Our free initial consultations are now booking into later this month and September - what have you got to lose in experiencing where others are clearly benefitting. DM us on here or e-mail [email protected] to book your slot - and don't be wondering 'what if'!!

***BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT*** - giving something back.

I normally stop short of some local traditions to post weekly updates of activities. This week though has seen such a variety of positivity and activity, both in my mission to serve in the community and to continuously expand the scope of what OFST Business Consultancy Services has to offer in its quest to support business growth ambitions, turn chaos into clarity and advise on best practices while stimulating new ideas and continuous improvement. I thought a few items worthy of a shout out!

Last week started (Monday and Thursday mornings) with a visit to . Not what you may think, just the start of a process to become a magistrate!! Together with a position on the Board of Trustees at Y Bont and an active committee member of Bridgend Male Choir, it’s such a pleasure to be able to give something back to the local community.

In between, to be able to provide advice, coaching and support to leaders (including two new customers with very different requirements) all wishing to make a difference and grow their businesses, has been inspirational.

It was a trip up the valleys last Friday, and two inspiring discussions with It'seeze Web Design South Wales Valleys and South Wales Insurance Brokers, discussing how their businesses are successfully evolving and seeking additional ways in which we can collaborate (and to provide some referrals)! Great to visit your new premises chaps. Coffee wasn’t bad either!

If you are a small business seeking to accelerate profitable growth, or need an injection of innovation to realise your goals, do connect, DM or e mail [email protected] - our initial consultations are free!
